not all mattresses are up to the task

Spinal alignment for your best sleep

Inferior support leads to spine misalignment, back pain and discomfort. Your mattress should allow your spine to maintain its natural posture while you sleep, reducing muscular tension and strain. Backed by orthopaedic research, Sealy Posturepedic technology works to align your body with the appropriate level of support.

The Posturepedic Difference

What is 'Posturepedic'?

The word ‘Posturepedic’ is more than just a catchphrase; it signifies a specific set of benchmarks or standards to which we design, produce and test our products. 

A Sealy mattress is one that combines comfort, support and durability. Each of these qualities is equally important and measurable.

Comfort

To qualify as a Posturepedic mattress, the internal comfort layers must offer minimal pressure on the skin, improved heat dissipation and reduced partner disturbance.

Support

It is imperative that the mattress maintains spinal alignment and passes our Posturepedic Support Criteria. This helps to eliminate backache and reduce muscle strain.

Durability

The mattress must be able to deliver these benefits consistently for years with repeated use. We conduct fatigue and durability testing along with regular component quality checks.

The Posturepedic Criteria

We know from extensive research with the Orthopaedic Advisory Board that the best position for sleeping is one that maintains neutral alignment of your spine.

The Posturepedic Support Criteria was established in conjunction with orthopaedic surgeons. It defines a set of angles within which your body can be considered to be in a supportive sleeping position. Your neck, chest, pelvis and knees must be within these limits or angles in order to maintain proper alignment.

This criteria is the foundation of ‘Posturepedic’ and continues to be built upon with continued studies in sleep biomechanics. Our mattresses are designed to offer this support regardless of how soft your mattress feels, how much it costs or which size you prefer.
